Born while Taft was President, she went on to see 18 others in the office. She lived through World War I, World War II, the entire Cold War, Korea, Vietnam, Persian Gulf, and the Iraq/Afghanistan War. She was alive for the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1912 (last dynasty of China), the entirety of the Soviet Union’s existence, the Great Depression, dropping of the first atomic bombs, Cuban Missile Crisis, the moon landings, fall of the Berlin Wall, 9/11, the Great Recession, and now the Covid Pandemic. Women weren’t even able to vote until 7 years after she was born and Civil Rights legislation wasn’t enacted until over 50 years after she was born.
She also survived two of her children: John (fuck him) and Jean, both in their eighties, and outlived her husband by almost 40 years. I personally couldn’t imagine having to bury two of my children and my spouse. What a long life.
